1. Introduction
In Endeavour Energy environment, Oracle databases are categorized into three categories
considering clustering and non-clustering. These categories are:

1. RAC on Exadata servers

2. OMS servers in RAC (non-Exadata servers)

3. Standalone

The login methodology, which is different for databases in each category, is described in
detail in this document.

1. Overview
The database servers in Endeavour Energy environment consists of Exadata RAC, non-
Exadata RAC, and standalone servers. Therefore, the methodology to login to
databases hosted on these servers is different depending on the database server. This
document describes the login methodology for databases in each type of server.

2. Purpose/Requirement
This document is for the Database Administrators supporting Endeavour Energy
Oracle landscape. Purpose of this document is to help DBAs to login to Oracle
databases on each type of database server in Endeavour Energy environment.

3. Achievements after the Task

Purpose Login to Oracle databases on different types of servers
Task Follow Steps from section II
Results Login successfully on different types of Oracle databases

2. Login to Exadata Database
Logon to server using putty, depending upon on which node of RAC server you are logging,
instance number will vary.
This is an example of connecting database hosted on HWEXAP1DB01 server.
Once you are logged in to the server go to /home directory of oracle user

cd /home/oracle

Do listing of the files

ls –ltr *.sh

You will find below scripts. Depending on the environment (Prod/Test/Dev) run the
respective script.

-rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle oinstall 232 Oct 28 2013 setenv.sh

-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall 3834 Nov 12 2013 settest4.sh
-rwxrwxrwx 1 oracle oinstall 3831 Nov 14 2013 setpro4.sh

NOTE: If you are logged on the second node of the cluster then instance number will
change from 1 to 2. For example, ELLPRD2, FUSETST2 and GK6DEV2.

3. Login to OMS Database

Logon to server using putty, depending upon on which node of RAC server you are logging,
instance number will vary.
This is an example of connecting database hosted on HWRHOMSPRDR1 server.
Once you are logged in to the server go to /home directory of oracle user

cd /home/oracle

hwrhomsprdr1-oracle>. setenv OMSPRD1

The Oracle base remains unchanged with value /u01/app/oracle
OMSPRD1
ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_prd

change from 1 to 2. For example

. setenv OMSPRD2

4. Login to UNIX and TRUE64 Servers

Log in to server using putty using your own credentials. This is an example of connecting
database on UXDEV13 server and same is applicable for all Unix and Tru-64 servers
Once logged in to the server do sudo to oracle user and enter Oracle password.
uxdev13:(pratag):/home/logica/pratag $ su - oracle
Password:

Run below command on the server.

uxdev13:oracle@GISREL > . oraenv

ORACLE_SID = [GISREL] ?

It will prompt you to enter the database name to which you want to connect
uxdev13:oracle@GISREL > . oraenv
ORACLE_SID = [GISREL] ? BANTST1
The Oracle base for ORACLE_HOME=/Banner/BANTST/oracle/product/9.2.0 is
/Banner/BANTST/oracle/product/9.2.0
uxdev13:oracle@BANTST1 > sqlplus "/as sysdba"
